chapter 50

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!Chapter 50 :As the days passed, the much-anticipated reception approached. Nandu had planned a lavish celebration at a grand function hall, making it clear to society who Aadhya was to him. He even sent a personal invitation to his mother through Gaurav, hoping for her presence at the event.But to his dismay, only Yeshwanth, Akil, and Shruti attended, leaving an undeniable void in his heart due to his mother’s absence.Despite that, the function was nothing short of extravagant. Nandu personally greeted each guest who came to congratulate him and proudly introduced Aadhya as his companion.Everyone was mesmerized by Aadhya—her beauty, her grace, and her humble nature. But what captivated them even more was the way Nandu stole glances at her every now and then, as if completely smitten and utterly wrapped around her little finger. It was hard for them to believe that the notorious playboy had finally devoted himself to a single woman, bound not just by love but by sheer adoration.The media covered their reception, showcasing their bond to the world, making it clear whom Nandu belonged to—breaking the hearts of countless women who had hoped to win him over with their charms.Once the function was over and they had taken a few days to settle back into their routine, Nandu proposed that Aadhya rejoin the company—not as an intern, but as the Head of the Designing Department”.Aadhya was flabbergasted by the sudden revelation and immediately rejected the offer.“Krish! This isn’t fair to the current department head. You can’t just replace them with someone who has no experience or the same level of talent. I can’t accept this position, but I will rejoin my duties”, she said, her voice gentle but firm.Placing his hands on her shoulders, Nandu implored,“Aadu, don’t talk about worthiness or experience. You are my wife, and you have every right to be the head of the company. But I know you won’t accept anything as a mere privilege. That’s why I’m offering you this position—not just because of who you are, but because I know your talent and capability. I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes”. His voice was coaxing and reassuring.Aadhya met his gaze, seeing the unwavering belief and certainty in his eyes. Yet, she still hesitated.Cupping her cheek, Nandu continued,“Aadu! In just a few days, we’re participating in the fashion show competition, one that I’ve won for the past two years. I want to win it again and complete a hat-trick of victories.I believe in you, and I want you to take charge of this. Won’t you join hands with me?”. His voice was full of confidence and trust.After a few moments of contemplation and hesitation, Aadhya slowly nodded. With uncertainty in her voice, she asked,“Krish! You’re placing such a huge responsibility on my shoulders. Do you really think I can do it?”.Smiling softly, Nandu cupped her face in his palms, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and replied,“I have complete faith in your talent, capability, and creativity. I’m a hundred percent sure of my decision. Just go with the flow and trust yourself. No doubts, okay?”. His voice was filled with confidence and reassurance.Seeing the belief in his eyes, Aadhya couldn’t help but smile and nod in approval.The next day, Nandu took her to the company and formally introduced her as the Head of the Designing Department. He announced that she would be leading the upcoming competition and assigned a team to support her in the project. Akhil and Tanuja were also given positions in the company and were placed in the same team to assist Aadhya in preparing for the competition.While most of the employees welcomed the decision, a few weren’t happy about Aadhya becoming the department head just because she was the founder’s wife. Though they didn’t voice their thoughts openly, whispers and gossip started spreading behind her back.-  *KRISH*
